HAVE YOU QUESTIONED WHY THINGS ARE DONE THE WAY THEY ARE DONE? QUESTIONED THAT TRADITION YOU HAVE ALWAYS PRACTICED? 

A group of scientists placed five monkeys in a cage and in the middle placed a ladder with bananas at the top. Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientist will soak the ones at the bottom of the ladder with ice cold water. After a while every time a monkey went up the ladder, the other monkeys will beat up the one that went up the ladder and after a while no monkey dared to go up the ladder in-spite of the temptation to go up to get the bananas .

 

The scientist decided to substitute one of the monkeys. The first thing the new monkey did was to go up the ladder to get the bananas and he got the beating of its life by the other monkeys and after several beatings it also learned the consequences of going for the bananas even though it did not know why it was beating by the other monkeys who had experienced the ice cold bath.

 

A second monkey out of the original five was replaced by a new monkey and the same thing happened but this time the first new monkey joined in beating the second new monkey even though the first new monkey did not know why the second new monkey was beaten.

 

A third new monkey was brought in to replace  one of the original five monkeys and the same beaten process began when the third new monkey went up the ladder, this time around the first and the second new monkeys joined in beating the third new monkey. this happened until all the original five monkeys were replaced by five new monkeys and all the new monkeys had experienced the beating even though they never knew why they were beaten by the first set of monkeys that experienced the ice cold bath.

 

This second set of monkeys began to beat up the third set of monkeys that were brought into the cage that attempted to go up the ladder to get the bananas, if it were possible to ask the second set of monkeys why they were beating the third set of monkeys they would probably have said that they did not know, that it was how they met it, it is how the system works, without never knowing why they were beating the third set of monkeys that went up the ladder, Does that sound familiar?

Friends, it is time to challenge any tradition or practice that is not taking us towards the fulfillment of our goals and dreams.things can be done differently, become a change agent, a pathfinder, a trail blazer.

Don't accept opinions and ideas that limit you all in the name of tradition. ask questions, why are things being done the way they are done? make things happen 

CHALLENGE TRADITION THAT CONTRADICTS THE REVEALED WILL OF GOD
